Hello Andrew,

I personally experienced two different root causes for black screens during kernel updates:

1) apt is holding back linux-modules-nvidia-*-generic.
This happened to me at least three times.
This seems to be what happened to Alexander Brissman because Alexander could install the missing packages.

2) linux-modules-nvidia-535-6.2.0-25-generic does not exist.
This happened to me with the combination of linux-generic 6.2.0-25 and nvidia-driver-535.
See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-restricted-modules/+bug/2027914.

I also experienced a black screen during the update from nvidia-driver-525 to nvidia-driver-535.
This was without a kernel update.
